Rumor: 25-year-old forward close to signing deal worth $7 million.

It sounds like we are on the verge of another big contract signing in the National Hockey League. 

While we do not have anything official to report at this time, Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman has reported that Calgary Flames and 25-year-old winger Michael Ferland are currently working on a deal, and it sounds like they may be close. 

According to Friedman the deal would be a two-year contract, one that would pay Ferland a total of 7 million dollars. If those details are indeed accurate Ferland would carry an average annual value of $3.5 million per season.

Ferland put up 15 goals and 10 assists for 25 points in 76 regular season games with the Flames this past season.
